Almighty is in complete control of His/Her creation

Almighty God controls and governs man and the universe harmoniously. When we acknowledge that the Almighty is in charge all discord such as storms, poverty, sin,fear,and disease will cease, and the reign of harmony will be seen.

An inspirational Prayer of Love

Today I awoke and was inspired to fill my consciousness with Love. I began writing down ideas of Love which were entering my thought continually. I visualized "Infinite Love filling all space," as quoted by Mary Baker Eddy in Science and Health with key to the Scriptures on (page 520:4). I saw everyone as living, moving and having their being in Love which fills all space. I felt this everpresent, omnipresent divine Love lovingly caring for all and protecting all under the wings of the Fatherhood and Motherhood of Love. Internally, I looked up and Love's Face was radiant and shining peacefully upon us bathing us in the oil of gladness and the beauty of holiness.In (Psalm 50:2), it is written "Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined." It certainly was a warm and holy feeling for which I prayed to God that it would stay with me.

I got up and proceeded to read my Bible Lesson which satisfies my human need spiritually and humanly. In the first section of the lesson, I realized how lovingly there were answers to our prayers today although this week's lesson was written long before what seems to be happening in Texas and Louisiana now. This affirms what is written in the Bible "Before they call, I will answer and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (Isa.65:24).

Continuing to read the Bible Lesson, there are many citations applicable to the current human situations e.g 1." Ps.107:20-21 He (the Supreme Being) sent His Word and healed them from their destructions.
2.Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" Trusting God/Love will take care of the problem giving us divine ideas about what to do.
3.Ps.33:9 gives us further assurance by saying "God spake (His Word)and it was done; He commanded and it stood fast"
4.Ps.111:4 says "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion" and this graciousness and compassion is expressed in each of us His/Her perfect offspring as St.Paul says 'for we are also His offspring'.

We must thank God for creating us and the entire universe reflecting all of His/Her perfect spiritual qualities expressed as Mother Nature or Divine Love.As we change our thinking to reflect our Father/Mother Love, we will definitely see harmony in man and the universe and all chaos will disappear. Reflecting or meditating on God's perfect creation is the prayer needed today.

Today's Inspiration

How gentle God's commands.
How kind his precepts are;
Come cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust His constant care. Science & Health Hymnal.

When we acknowledge that we live in the everpresence and the omnipotence of God's goodness, we see it in our experience everywhere. Let us trust the Almighty and have no other trusts.

We must humbly give thanks to the Almighty who expresses in us His/her limitless qualities of Life, Truth and Love.

We must always remember that the Almighty expresses in us all the qualities of His/her Spirit, Love, Power and His/Her sound Mind.
